Includes Copenhagen Preserve.
Goal is No Anchor Zone with increased management.
Not necessarily No Take Zone. Fishermen can still be active on the Piers and get benefits of spillover effects on both ends of area.
Dense A. cervicornis and A. palmata.
Near Pompano there are many artificial reefs (AR) used as diving reefs. The Rodeo ship north of Commercial Blvd. and Pompano pier. The area’s reef is important enough to block it out even if you do not go out to the second reef and then block it out.
There would be very little resistance from the fishing community. But, you may have some resistance from the dive community because the area is very popular for lobster diving.
If the third reef is included, you will get a lot of resistance from fishermen.

North boundary of Lauderdale by the Sea (LBTS), to Commercial Blvd., and east to include the middle reef (but exclude the outer reef). South of commercial pier has some of the best coral reef tract.
Concerned about the popularity of lobster fishing there and the potential backlash. Fishermen will be upset if they cannot catch baitfish and pelagic.
Hard though from an enforcement aspect.
One comment that ~75% offshore fishing is being done in this particular region while 25% of the fishing is done closer to shore.

Uses Fishing Pier as boundary.
From the shore to the 3rd reef.
Includes Snook Spawning Aggregation
This could be an alternative to the Danie/John U Lloyd area.

20-56
|
Dense Acropora sites, 2 meter large live corals, and high coral cover areas.
Southern end by LBTS, which is a couple blocks from the pier to Sunrise Blvd., there is limited to no beach access. Shore activity is limited; not as popular to fish/dive as LBTS and the pier.
Area has lots of nearshore nursery grounds because it has not been buried under sediment by beach nourishment projects.
